Third-party usb microphone for Xbox One

Hello @ItsBelkon!

Currently the Xbox One does not support USB Microphones. You could just use a headset for talking while streaming your games or stream using your PC, and use a USB microphone on there instead.

The Dashboard team added support for third party USB webcams so that is why you are finding that they work whereas the same is not true for USB microphones except for maybe the Xbox specific branded USB mic.

It depends on the type of your streaming Microphone.

If it's an USB microphone, then no.

If the Microphone has an analogue connector (e.g. 3.5mm jack), you could use a headphone/microphone to CTIA adapter, and plug your Astro into the headphone plug and your streamer microphone to the microphone plug, and then plug the CTIA adapter into the
controller.

Alternatively, if you use a third party streaming software and are screen capturing from your PC, you can start the Party through the Xbox App on your PC, and stream the game to a capture card on your PC. Then you can mix the game audio from the captured
console with your party sound (if your streaming software allows such a mix), and then stream that from your capturing PC to your streaming platform.

Yes it is possible. Singing games have built in driver support for USB microphones. You only need an Xbox authorized microphone for system level things like party chat

It's a third-party USB drive. The Xbox still recognizes my other memory card, which is an official Xbox one. Is this a problem for everyone?
